Closing in On the Big ONE

William is a wild man these days. He is all about standing on his own two feet and putting everything into his mouth, very high maintenance. The good thing about this phase is that he is easily entertained because everything is new to him. Ryan took him outside the other day to explore our trees, which he really enjoyed. He definitely has his own opinion and will yell until he gets what he wants. Every time I get my credit card out to pay at a store he yells and grabs for the card until he can have it and then he slides it on the credit card machine, it is annoying and funny at the same time.

He still only has two teeth- go figure. I see the upper teeth bulging in his gums but nothing has come out yet.

Clowning Around

Chase has chosen a circus party theme to celebrate his 5th birthday. We are so excited!

How do I get out of here?

We have had the playpen downstairs and William has for a few weeks now enjoyed playing in there for very brief time periods, long enough for me to make sandwiches or use the bathroom without worrying about what he is eating from the floor. But recently William has been eager to start walking and prefers to spend his play time cruising around and climbing up furniture. Last week he was trying to get out of the playpen by smushing himself up against the mesh and forcefully trying to push his way out. I think he has figured it out. Now he is trying to climb out ;)
